Top 10 "Would You Rather" Questions to Ask People

Some questions test your knowledge. Some test your morals. And then there are "Would You Rather" questions, the kind that toss logic into a blender and hit purée.

You're not here to debate political policy or solve quantum equations. You're here to figure out if you'd prefer fighting one horse-sized duck or a hundred duck-sized horses. You're here for the weird, the awkward, the occasionally horrifying. And for the joy of watching your friends squirm as they try to explain why they'd rather give up showers than brushing their teeth.

This is where your instincts take the wheel and your dignity gets pushed into traffic. The choices on this list are designed to poke at your personal comfort zones and force you into picking the lesser of two absolutely ridiculous evils. Or occasionally, two strangely appealing ones.

Either way, you can't win. But you also can't look away.

So scroll through. Vote for the options that got the best reactions or sparked the worst arguments. Maybe even add a few of your own.

1. Would you rather always be 10 minutes late or 20 minutes early?

   10 minutes late. I would not want to spend more time at school than I already have to.

   Depends. If it's school, 10,000 minutes late. If it's somewhere fun, 20 minutes early.

   Too easy. Better to be early than too late, as they say!

2. Would you rather be a 6'2" woman or a 5'2" man?

   I'd love to meet an Amazon woman taller than me.

3. Would you rather be 7 years old and not potty-trained or 5 years old with no ability to speak at all?

   I would rather be 5 years old without the ability to talk because I could use sign language for others. However, others may not understand that.

   The second one. I could still communicate with other people, just not through talking.

   I'd rather be 5 years old with no ability to speak. As long as I know how to write.

4. Would you rather listen to Justin Bieber or get eaten by spiders?

   C'mon, stop this already. It ain't 2010 anymore. The Bieber jokes got old a long time ago. Bieber ain't even that bad honestly. Now if the question was asking would I rather listen to Eric Bellinger, Chris Brown, Black Panties by R. Kelly, mumble rap, or most of modern R&B, then it might be a fair question.

   Haha just kidding. I'd obviously still go with the first option, no matter how bad the music was, than to be eaten by spiders.

   Justin Bieber isn't even that awful. People just bandwagon and hate him to look cool. If anything, his music has improved, and while I'm personally not a fan, I could probably find at least one song of his I enjoy if I tried!

5. Would you rather be a newborn baby for all of your life or be a disabled senior citizen all of your life?

   Disabled senior citizen. Obviously, everyone wants to be young and carefree, but think about it. The question clearly states "for the rest of your life." You want to be dumb and not able to speak for your entire life? Then you can't even pick up your Bible or pray to the Lord or anything.

   Being a disabled senior citizen, on the other hand, would give you enough knowledge to do those kinds of things. Think smarter, not harder, my friends.

   Take the fountain of youth, or be old and not worry about a retirement plan? This sounds like The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, actually.

6. Would you rather buy a plane or a flying car?

   A flying car so that you can still drive on the streets if you want to. It's a lot more convenient because it's easier to maneuver than a plane, and people won't get scared of a flying car going over buildings. A plane would be a lot scarier for the people below, making them think it might crash. So, it's more respectful and convenient.

   Flying car, since I hate planes and love road trips. Plus, with a flying car, I could fly overseas.

   A flying car. It would be very cool to have one.

7. Would you rather rule the world or live in a world with peace and happiness (no problems at all)?

   If I did rule the world, I doubt I'd be able to impose world peace. I'd rather someone else did it for me.

   The second one. Just imagine all the people living life in peace!

   Definitely the second one. Wars would rage in the first one.

8. Would you rather eat marshmallows and chocolate cheesecake or eat an ice cream sandwich with marshmallows?

   Thanks for making me hungry. Now I want both. But probably the chocolate cheesecake. I love chocolate.

   An ice cream sandwich with marshmallows sounds like the better combination.

   Ice cream sandwich with marshmallows gets my vote. I hate cheesecake.

9. Would you rather date Thor or Superman? (For girls)

   Maybe Thor. I like long hair on guys. Superman has a clean-shaven, soft look to him, though.

10. Would you rather make the dumbest list or the most offensive list?

    C'mon, seriously? Isn't this obvious? Why is this even a question? I think by looking at my profile description and most of my comments, it should be pretty clear to most that I, as well as anyone with any sense, would go with the second choice. Why anybody would pick the first option is completely beyond me.

    Offensive list. Freedom of speech is more important than everyone's sensitive feelings. Free speech was established in the Constitution to protect "offensive" speech. Otherwise, thought police could just label anything as offensive and censor it. And that's really where we are now, both in America and overseas. People in Europe are being jailed by the thought police for "offensive" speech that the establishment disagrees with. It's like 1984, people! Facebook and Twitter are censoring conservative, right-leaning media like Drudge Report, Paul Joseph Watson, Milo Yiannopoulos, InfoWars, etc. Heck, this site is guilty of it too! Both users who whine about certain lists needing to be taken down, and especially admins censoring all kinds of content (one of the biggest things that ticks me off is that downvotes are no longer shown on comments, grrr).

The Newcomers
11. ?

    Would you rather be stuck on an island alone or with someone you hate?

    I'd rather be stuck with someone I hate because then I'd have something to eat.

12. ?

    Would you rather be married to a 10 with a bad personality or a 6 with an amazing personality?

    Great question, props to whoever added it because we've all probably thought about this, whether we want to admit it or not. If I had to be married to her, I guess I'd rather have someone with a great personality who doesn't look quite as amazing, opposed to an incredibly beautiful and sexy woman who I can't stand to be around. Going with option 2 though, I'd obviously still have to really be attracted to her as well for the marriage to actually work. If the question was just about dating them instead of marriage, depending on the length of the relationship, then I might have to go with the first option, if I am being completely honest with myself, lol.

The Contenders

13. Would you rather be a sportsman or a celebrity?

    Celebrity. Hopefully, then I can spread the word of God better. People might listen since I am famous.

    Ignorance, man. Ignorance.

    Being a celebrity requires a lot of high maintenance to stay relevant. In that case, working as a sportsman would be great, at least for me.

    Celebrity. I don't mind becoming famous.

14. Would you rather have teleportation or telekinesis?

    Telekinesis, because then you can use these powers to make yourself fly and move other things around.

    Hard one. Probably telekinesis. Then it would look like I'm invisible or someone else is doing it.

    Teleportation, I could go anywhere in the world and see anything I wanted.

15. Would you rather have a million-dollar mansion with a broken-down car or a small, dirty home with a luxurious car?

16. Would you rather be extremely underweight or extremely overweight?

    Overweight, because then I would weigh enough to ride the Lunar Loop! Yay!

    Underweight. It's hard to lose weight but easy to gain it. Or so people say.

    Overweight, nothing worse than being too skinny.

17. Would you rather be five feet taller or three feet shorter?

    Five feet taller. That is the only logical option. If you are average height, it is no problem.

    Me, I am 6'4" (of course I have to be the height that no one will believe), so I would be 6'9". 69. It is perfect!

    Okay, I'm not sure about these measurements myself, but I'll side with being five feet taller. Despite that being the Andre the Giant effect, it would be better than being dwarf-sized.

    Apart from women who are in love with a man shorter than themselves, I can't imagine why anybody would choose the second option.

18. Would you rather sit next to a passenger who's constantly coughing and sniffing or sit next to a chatty passenger?

    Chatty, because I have a way to avoid conversation: avoid eye contact.

19. Would you rather have a pet dragon or have wings?

    Can I say both? If not, then dragon. With wings, I can fly. With a dragon, I can fly and have company at the same time.

    Wings, because dragons are too much responsibility and work to take care of. Besides, they also scare me a little.

    I'd rather have wings. Having a pet dragon is dangerous and seems like a lot of work.

20. Would you rather be able to fly without getting hurt or be able to travel through time?

    Time travel. I mean, we can already sort of do the former (airplanes are safer than cars, and with things like wingsuits and jetpacks in development, we could learn how to safely pilot them), and time travel could have its uses, such as preventing a horrible future.

    Fly. I wouldn't need to learn how to drive or memorize streets anymore. I could just fly, and if I forgot the way to go somewhere, I could just fly high and see everything from above.

    Traveling through time and rewriting history would be a better mission than having the ability to fly.

21. Would you rather be a cat for 24 hours or be a dog for 24 hours?

    Cat all the way! Especially if I get to be a Maine Coon.

    A cat. Always. Although, cat food and dog food...

    Cat all the way. They are way more intelligent.

22. Would you rather eat 2 packages of raw hot dogs or clog the toilet at your in-law's house?

    Clog the toilet and blame it on the father.

    Trick question. If you eat the hot dogs at your in-laws, you'll clog their toilet regardless.

23. Would you rather be able to speak all human languages or be able to speak to every animal but not understand all human languages?

    Again, this is kind of a dumb question. Anybody with a reasonable amount of intelligence would obviously go with the first option. I mean, who on earth hasn't ever wished they could speak more languages? Then again, many people nowadays haven't even mastered one.

    Why is everyone voting to speak with animals? Wouldn't you rather know what anyone is saying just because you know all human languages? It would be the easiest thing ever to spy on people! So yeah, the first choice.

    I can't choose. It's just a really hard decision to make. I guess you could call me an indecisive person.

24. Would you rather be alone for the rest of your life or always be surrounded by annoying people?

    Definitely alone. I usually prefer my privacy and I mostly don't mind my own company.

    A girl would be nice, but I'd rather just be alone for the rest of my life than have to deal with and endure the presence of obnoxious people. At least I'd be pretty used to the first option anyway.

    Alone. I've found my friends anyway. They're in my head.

    Annoying people. I could just deal with them.

25. Would you rather find true love or find a suitcase with one billion dollars?

    I'd take the suitcase. I don't believe in true love. Now that we know that love - or any emotion, for that matter - is made of chemicals in the brain (the chemical serotonin, for example, makes you happy), we could invent something that would make us fall in love with anything. Plus, I'd donate some of that money to medical charities. I probably sound like a heartless freak by now.

    If the love isn't platonic, I don't want the money. I don't want to be stuck with a partner.

    Find the suitcase, and donate a lot of the money to charities.

26. Would you rather always be able to tell when someone is lying or always be able to get away with lying?

    Well, I feel like I'm already pretty good at lying, so I'd definitely go with the first option. I know that would definitely come in handy a lot in life.

    I'd rather always get away with lying. Maybe I could get some of the crappy pop singers arrested for other crappy pop singers I've killed. Two for one!

    Be able to tell when someone is lying. Because when I get a girlfriend, I could tell if she has been cheating on me.

27. Would you rather cook or eat wood?

    I can only imagine someone saying, "Eat wood, obviously!"

    Random Person: Eating wood is the best!

    Me: What's wrong with you?
